The Missing star died at the age of 43, her agent said on Monday, after she revealed she had been diagnosed with a 'rare cancer' in October 2023.
According to reports, Dequenne had been suffering from adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), an aggressive cancer of the adrenal gland.

On Instagram, Green wrote: 'Emilie was already a star, an extraordinary actress who I revered,' when they first met during a drama school presentation, and called her 'humble, encouraging, so full of light and pure kindness'.
The Penny Dreadful and Casino Royale star added that she last saw Dequenne at the Cannes Film Festival, where the star was a co-winner in 1999 for her role in Palme d'Or winning film Rosetta.
'When I saw her last summer, she was so vibrant and full of life, we were both certain that she had vanquished the rare form of cancer she had been battling,' she added.
'Her death has left me stunned… heartbroken… as it has left all those who knew her, and even those who knew her only in her films. She was grace, light, and all things excellent.'

Cotillard wrote in French that she will 'forever cherish what we shared', and called Dequenne a 'sublime human' and a 'genius actress'.
The Oscar winner said 'you have been and will be an source of infinite inspiration for me', and added that she had studied Dequenne's work.
'I am going to find a hard time realising,' she said. 'I will always find this unjust.'
Cotillard said she 'loved' and will 'miss' the actress, also known for playing police officer Laurence Relaud in British anthology drama The Missing.
The Missing stars James Nesbitt as the father of a boy who disappears during a family holiday in France.
Dequenne also starred in horror-action film Brotherhood Of The Wolf (2001) alongside Vincent Cassel, Monica Bellucci and Samuel Le Bihan.
Her other roles included 2009's The Girl On The Train, in which her character Jeanne makes up a shocking story about a racially motivated attack on a train, and 2012 crime drama Our Children.
She also played a sound recordist called Charlotte, who learns that her mother has been murdered, in noughties movie Ecoute Le Temps, and a mother in 2022 coming-of-age film Close.
Dequenne cried after receiving the Cannes prize for Rosetta, in what was her first role in film when she was 18.
She returned to the festival in 2024 for the 25th anniversary of Rosetta, which tells the story of a young girl's efforts to keep her job in the face of her own schizophrenia.
Her last film was the post-apocalyptic thriller Survive, by French director Frederic Jardin.
Dequenne was married to actor Michel Ferracci and had a daughter, Milla Savarese.

Welcome Back, Hayley Paige—The Fairytale Continues, On Her Terms
The fashion world is buzzing, and rightfully so. We are beyond thrilled to share the official runway photos from the Hayley Paige 'Twice Upon a Time' presentation, an extraordinary debut held at the legendary Colony Hotel in picture-perfect Palm Beach, Florida. Planned and designed by Whitney Carillon Events and captured flawlessly by La Via Visual, this soirée was a rewritten chapter for Hayley Paige. A whimsical dreamscape of bold storytelling, couture fantasy, and next-generation bridal design that marked a long-awaited return… and a reckoning. In an industry built on love stories, Hayley Paige has lived through a plot twist no one saw coming. Once celebrated as the crown jewel of millennial bridal fashion, known for her twirl-worthy silhouettes, sparkle-laced magic, and Instagram-era bridal voice, Hayley's journey took a devastating detour. A deeply public legal battle over the rights to her own name removed her from the very brand she built, leaving an entire generation of brides (and dreamers) wondering what would come next. But Hayley Paige didn't disappear. She recalibrated. She healed. She fought. And now, after years of silence, strength, and strategic rebuilding, she's back with full creative freedom, ownership, and her signature shine. On July 27, Hayley Paige officially reclaimed the spotlight with the launch of her brand-new 30-piece bridal collection, ushering in a bold new era of design, independence, and storytelling. This isn't just a comeback—it's a creative resurrection. A personal and professional triumph. A masterclass in resilience. While her name was in litigation limbo, Hayley quietly turned heartbreak into horsepower. Through her sculptural bridal shoe brand She is Cheval, she continued pushing the boundaries of bridal fashion. With feminine lines, red carpet-worthy edge and unapologetic flair, Cheval proved what we already Paige's vision never dulled. It simply evolved. Now with Twice Upon a Time she returns to the aisle. But this time she's calling every shot. The 30-piece collection delivers exactly what we've missed: ethereal romance, rule-breaking elegance, and that signature Paige playfulness. But beyond the gowns, there's something even more powerful here: freedom. Ownership. A woman in full. In a world where so many designers lose their names to contracts and corporations, Hayley Paige's comeback is a reminder that reclaiming your voice is always worth the fight. Her story is about fashion and building a legacy. Welcome back, Hayley. The world's been waiting. And this time, the fairytale is yours to write.
